SLIDE 5 List of Drugs Investigated
Drug Population Mechanism of Action
Oxcarbazepine (Trileptal) ≥ 2 year
Blocks voltage dependent Na channels, increase K conductance and modulate high voltage activated Ca channels
Levetiracetam (Keppra) ≥ 1 month
Acts by binding to SV2A protein
Lamotrigine (Lamictal) ≥ 2 year
Inhibits voltage sensitive Na channels, stabilize neuronal membranes and modulates presynaptic release of excitatory neurotransmitter
Topiramate (Topamax) ≥ 2 year
Blocks voltage dependent Na channels, augments GABA activity, antagonize AMPA/Kainate subtype
- f glutamate receptor, inhibits carbonic anhydrase
enzyme
Gabapentin (Neurontin) ≥ 3 years
Not known; binds with α2δ subunit of voltage activated calcium channel but therapeutic effects of binding are unknown
Perampanel (Fycompa) ≥12 year
Noncompetitive antagonist of AMPA glutamate receptor
Tiagabine (Gabitril) ≥12 year
Not known, enhances the activity of GABA an inhibitory neurotransmitter
Vigabatrin (Sabril) ≥10 year
Not known, increase levels of GABA in CNS
